Forbes Creek Pinot Noir 2015

Security Question

Our California wine fans can’t get enough of the Golden State’s riper, richer style of Pinot Noir. If you’re among them (or ready to give California Pinot a try), then you’ll want to taste this luscious new ‘Vintage Selection.’

What makes Forbes Creek so special? All the grapes were carefully selected from some of California’s top Pinot sites – Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, Paso Robles, Clarksburg and Lodi (Wine Enthusiast’s 2015 Region of the Year). These premium regions consistently produce fine Pinot Noir, but conditions were especially great in 2015 – “a spectacular, high-quality vintage,” raves The Wine Advocate. The summer was warm, but it didn’t have the long, intense heat spells so typical of California – a welcome reprieve for cool-climate-loving Pinot.

You’re in for enticing aromas of fresh plum, wild strawberry and crushed lavender. The palate introduces classic, ripe, red-berry flavors, all wrapped up in a silky-smooth texture. A lovely aperitif (especially lightly chilled in summer) or a delicious partner for meaty fish, baked eggplant and more.
